Décarie Hot Dogs

First time there they've been in business for 56 years. It's old school, hot dogs and french fries and poutine. I loved it! I had two hot dogs, french fries and a can of Coca-Cola. You can't get better than this.

✅CASH💰ATM✅ ❌Cards❌ Debit/Credit❌Interac This is a 💰CASH ONLY small business , they're famous for their all season dressed hotdogs/sandwiches & poutine. It's a small place with limited dining space inside the restaurant but there is space outside (check the pictures). There's an ATM💰 in-store as they don't accept cards at all. I ordered the chicken Poutine ie Poutine Poulet. The gravy,fries and chicken were amazing, the cheese curds could have been better. But overall it's an average place nothing extraordinary especially for poutine

Had a chance to check this place out with one of my colleague and it was a great vibe. Ordered a couple hotdogs, fries and a burger. Food was great, but really came here to check out their story. Great people, good food and good prices. Definitely check them out.

Late night sandwich was on point, a special thanks to Tom for the amazing service. Clean restaurant & fast service, highly recommended.

I went there for the first time with 2 of my kids. I was in the area and had wanted to try this legendary spot for quite some time. Ordered 2 generous trios for 3 of us and there was plenty of great food. The hot dogs were piping hot and the fries were outstanding. But the best thing was the gravey on the poutine. This place is tiny with only a few bar stools at the counter. And it's got this old school vibe to it. But the food speaks volumes.

I’ve been going here since 1995, and I went today after 30 years. And it still hasn’t changed, and the people are still there family to family. it’s wonderful to see the nostalgia and the unchanging business, but with the same quality food.

Tiny place, hardly any seats, tiny counter for dine-in customers. A true throw-back with old school charm of a Montreal classic. Best steamie hot dogs. A mainstay of Ville Saint-Laurent.

We had Decarie Hot Dogs' Food Truck cater Michael's retirement party, and it was an absolute hit! The food was delicious—classic and comforting. The service was impeccable from start to finish. Tom was a true gem—he handled everything seamlessly with his crew, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Many of our guests were thrilled to see the truck there and shared great stories about going to the original restaurant when they were younger—it brought back so many memories.On behalf of Steven, myself and the entire team at Michael White Realties Inc., thank you for making the event extra special. Highly recommend!

What can I say about a Ville St. Laurent food institution!!! I was introduced to Tommy and Sophie over 20 years ago, and the place just doesn't stop delivering value and ambience. There are hot dog joints and then there's Decarie Hot Dogs. Enough said...

J'attendais depuis longtemps d'aller chez Decarie hot dog. Très petit resto avec a peine 8 tabourets et un petit comptoir derrière. Super accueil et service rapide et aimable. La poutine était bonne mais juste ok. Les 2 hotdogs toasted était ok aussi. Je trouves la salade de choux trop vinaigrée. Décor d'il y a 50 ans. Beaucoup de gens du coin. Statistiquement un peu difficile.

Best hotdogs in town. Fries are awesome. Lineup at lunch. They haven't changed. Still the same taste that made them famous.

I come here every week or so when I need to wait for a bus within the area. I generally get their fries as opposed to their hotdog trio. The price for the fries is $4 (taxes included). Like everything else, prices have gone up. Their fries are the greasy/thick fries that I like and I generally have them plain or with a bit of salt (but generally I will just have them plain as they taste fine for me). It is a cash only business and they've changed the inside so that one can no longer eat inside. They do have a table outside that someone can purchase their food and sit/eat there. They don't have WiFi and it is still a cash only business.

Décarie Hot Dog is an institution but I think it's very overrated, and overly pushed at non-Montrealers. Food is ok, but nothing exceptional. Maybe a little better than your average Belle Province, but hardly worth the fuss that's made about it. Will give credit the club sandwich and hamburger steak are quite good, but the rest is quite mediocre...

It is a great place for a quick bit to eat. Poutine is excellent but I couldn't really find a reason to rank them the best hot dog in the city. I strongly believe the nostalgia factor and it's name allow it to prevail as a must-eat.

I've been coming for 15 + years. It has the best hot dogs, fries, and poutine in town. A smaller place that I always grab take out. There are seats but it is a little tight for me. They won a Quebec wide contest that vote them casse-croûte royalty https://globalnews.ca/news/8033392/decarie-hot-dogs-food-award/

Late night CHEAT FOOD!!! Waaaw AMAZING !! Best dirty food in town! Came here around 12am got myself their famous hot dogs and poutine. Super deeelicious. Hot dogs were not bad But the Poutine was amazing! The sauce fries and cheese were AMAZING! Service was nice Ambiance: deli style super cozy and very comfy old school montreal casse croûte ! So glad I stopped by to get a cheat meal! Love it! Definitely recommend !

This place is an institution in Montreal! As a child living in ville Saint-Laurent, then a teenager living in the West Island, I would eat their poutine and hotdogs regularly. Since moving to the South-Shore, this was my first time back in ages. It's like time stood still. Nothing changed besides the prices. Last time a had a hot dog here, the hot dog was 0.75$. It is now 1.35$. So it has been awhile lol! I HAD to have the poutine and it was heavenly!!! If you love gravy as much as I do, you will not be disappointed. I didn't have time to eat it on the premise but couldn't wait to get home to taste it so I had to park and have a few bites. It was freezing outside, it smelled delicious in my car. It was delicious! I was happy!!! I was a kid again.

I'm not the type that gets too worked up with service, especially one established & long in history that goes way back when I was in high school. While paying a visit to Montreal, one of the three things on my must-do list in addition to 1) Schwartz' Smoked Meats, 2) Fairmount Bagels, it's 3) Le Poutine! Going along with times, before tasting everything, I whipped out my smartphone & began blogging my dining experience. One lady started yelling at me, "hey, you can't take pictures & videos! What are you going to do with it?" Oh, c'mon lady, I came all the way from California to relive a bit of my youth nostalgia, and your actions simply ruined it for me. Can't take pictures, a quick look on their FB pages already filled with photos from people like me, what I am doing is no different than any of the other folks. Besides, c'mon, go on with times, you should be thankful that we want to blog about our experience, if done well, it's free publicity & marketing for your little joint here, now you really pissed me OFF!

I've been here a few times...this is my 1st review There's a reason this place has been around for 50 years. A true Montreal casse-croute...and they do it right. Even when it's busy, the food comes right away. Typical casse-croute menu plus a few other items (club sandwich, hamburger steak, breakfast menu). I went for a hot dog, hamburger, fries (it's a big bag!), and a drink. Absolutely love their hot dogs and burgers. I always have to get 1 of each when I come. To top it off, the staff is super friendly. And I love the old school diner vibe inside. A definite Montreal institution!

It's descent their food,but comon please wash your hands or use gloves to make the poutines and hot dogs. Touches money and then they use their bare hands for the cheese curds or the hod dogs..

NEVER AGAIN. Okay I will expand on that a little more and explain why I'm saying that. Read on for the full review. Decarie Hot Dog is a greasy spoon and it is considered by many to be an institution here in Montreal. Here you can find the steamie and poutine, some of Montreal's quintessential foods. The place is tiny with limited seating but in summer they have picnic tables to increase the number of places. The food is cheap and comes really quickly. I had a steamie and poutine and was served within seconds of placing my order. The steamie was exactly what I was expecting and I enjoyed it. The poutine was massive and pretty good. While the curds could have been squeakier the gravy was velvety and well seasoned. The fries were thick cut and fried to the point of being nice and golden. All of this plus a can of spruce beer cost me $8.75 which was incredibly reasonable. Now let's get to the negatives of my experience. There weren't that many but the one I noticed was that the hygiene was non-existent and it is the reason why my rating is so low. The whole place could do with a good scrubbing and the person handling the cash was also handling food. Those however turned out to be minor transgressions in the grand scheme of things. At one point the man working the cash and deep fryer coughed a bit and proceeded to spit out the mucus in the garbage behind the counter in plain site of the customers before returning to his duties. WHO THE HELL HOCKS A LOOGIE NEXT TO WHERE FOOD IS BEING SERVED????? I have never witnessed something like this in my life in any kind of food establishment and it was repulsive. He also didn't wash his hands after that cough. Decarie Hot Dog could easily be four stars but I was pretty disgusted by their hygiene practices here. That little spitting incident cast a shadow over what otherwise would have been a pleasant greasy spoon experience. As much as I enjoyed the food I won't be back to indulge in it anytime soon.

One of the best hot dog joints in the province. The fries are amazing and the poutine is packed with flavour. Burgers are great and prices are super affordable.

Came here for a quick lunch during the work week with some coworkers. There's not much room to sit inside the restaurant, it's more of a grab and go kind of place (there are some tables & benches outside). As for the food, I ordered the cheese burger and a side of poutine (they have several combo deals to choose from as well). Pretty decent cheese burger, but nothing to rave home about. The poutine on the other hand, was definitely worth the hype. The fries are nice and crisp with a generous amount of cheese and gravy. It is the type of poutine that you would want to take an immediate nap after, but so worth it during the moment. I didn't try the steamies but my coworkers said they were pretty good as well. Overall, this is your perfect nonchalant greasy food joint. Not sure if I would come back just for the poutine, but definitely would return if I was in the area and craving some comfort food.

Legendary. -Generous serving for poutine. -Potatoes fried to perfection. -Poutine sauce not too salty. Lots of cheese curds. -I can easily eat 4 of their all-dressed and mouthwatering steamies. -Cash-only gets annoying. -Not enough seating, therefore I only go in the summertime if I want to eat there, as I can use their outdoor tables. -A must for any Montreal tourist who wants to experience an authentic the old-school "casse-croute".

Five Star! Five Star all day long! This place is WAY out of the way, and you're going to be on the metro for a long time to get to it. That's the downside. It's incredibly affordable, and the poutine is more delicious than the pictures will give it credit for. Also, while you're here having your tasty fries, gravy, and cheese, you might as well have two or three hot dogs - all dressed. Everything is served up quick, and it's charming to sit in an old school diner. This place isn't pretending to be anything it isn't. But what it is is marvelous.

I found this place because of a facebook poll about the best fries in Montreal. a After seeing all the post I decided to go and give it a try for myself. It is a very small place right by Cote Vertu metro and if you don't know its there you can easily miss it. By the look of this place its been there forever. Signs are older looking and so is the set up. They have a small counter with about 8-10 seats and they also have seating outside. I can tell you all that I am very happy I gave it a try because they are by far the best fries I ever had. I had a poutine and the size is big and he gravy was out of this world. The prices are also very good so if your hungry for some old fashion hot dogs and fries this place is worth the detour. Just be prepared they only take cash so no credit card or debit card.

I really love these fries!!!!!!!! Either way, decarie hot dog has always been and always will be my favorite spot for fries. They even have picnic tables outside now! PS- I took away a star because I saw a fly floating in their vinegar which either meant it's a complete fluke.. or they don't check for stuff like this very often. Anyway, the fly was dead so it's no biggie..

A Montréal institution. The young man and mature woman behind the counter were lovely. Steamies and poutine were divine!

Best poutine in town! Fast service and best food around! I recommend this place for people that are out of town because it's our little gem. Burgers are boom Fries boom Hot dogs are even more boom. Add a cherry Coke to top everything off and boom.. satisfaction at its best!

This is the type of place i've been missing. If you've ever had a craving for hot dogs and a poutine at pretty much any part of the day, this is your place. The type of greasy poutine with freshly fried fries, smothered in gravy, slightly melted cheese curds (not the squeakiest, but it does the job) thats served in a aluminum tray. The type of hotdogs that go down oh-so-easily and you can pound back 2-5 of them depending on your current level of hungriness. It's one of those small diner types that has that old school feel and brings a certain type nostalgia reminding you of every hole in the wall restaurant you've visited in Montreal. This is the place you miss when you move away from Montreal. Take it for what it is. This is my type of place.

3.5/5 Decarie Hot Dog was a stop that I had to do in Montreal, even though my parents are not exactly fond of greasy, down-to-earth Montreal food. Oh well, screw them, they don't know Montreal at all so I'm the tour guide. I went to Decarie Hot Dog on Boxing Day, and to my surprise it wasn't too full. My family of 4 managed to all be seated quite comfortably, despite the limited size of this place. There's not much to this place, but honestly you'll be out of this restaurant in less than 30 minutes if you're seated alone. The menu is quite simple and, again, represents Montreal food very well. Hot dogs, poutine, etc...I stuck with the fundamentals and ordered a poutine with an all dressed steamie hot dog. There was a hot dog that was just made as I was ordering, so I got my hot dog immediately, followed by the poutine about 2 minutes after. The hot dog, which was Lesters, was very good for $2. The poutine, thru all the hype I've heard, wasn't the best I had. There was a bit of an imbalance with the gravy and cheese curds, and some of the fries were a bit on the tough side so it was hard to eat; essentially the photos here threw me off, as the fries didn't scream "sweet red potato" in my part. Service was okay, but I felt the owner had a bit of a sarcastic tone towards me cause my parents didn't order what most customers order (I didn't go thru what they ordered for obvious reasons). Either way, for a party of 4 I paid roughly $22, which was an excellent deal that stuffed our stomachs. I wouldn't mind giving this place a second try, but I'll definitely be trying it again with people who understand Montreal food like me.

Cashier was rude and the food is affordable. It's a fast food, nothing special. Good for late night munchies. Open late hours too

Let me begin by saying that I have been going to Decarie Hot Dog for about 37 years. First discovered it in my first year at St-Laurent High (1982). Through by time at St-Laurent Iwas there every couple of weeks and when I was at Vanier I was there almost daily. The food and the family serving it has not changed in all that time. The Hot Dogs are always fresh, the buns never soggy and absolutely delicious. The fries are amazing, there is just something about eating hot dogs walking down the street and fries covered in salt and drenched in vinegar out of a small bag that is falling apart from the vinegar and the oil that makes it the quintessential Montreal fast food experience. The service is always friendly and the food fantastic. I have now introduced my son to it and he absolutely loves it. The price has gone up a bit but you can still get two hot dogs and a fry for under 10 dollars.

This must be one of those nostalgia places that people from the neighbourhood remember fondly. Food was mediocre at best. Prices weren't super cheap. Poutine was worse than an average fry truck. Hot dog was a plain old dog on a wonderbread bun. I wouldn't go back even if I was in the neighbourhood. Service was friendly enough.

It's rare to go to a place that you went to 30 years ago and find it's still the same......in a good way. I came here for the 1st time in years and there's a new generation of the family running the place but the food is still as I remembered. The hot dogs are still amazing and for some reason have a magical property that allows you to eat more of them then any human should washed down by the best fries in the city. There's something to be said for upgrading and change but also for tradition and not changing what works. This place works, it looks the same and the food tastes the same 30 years later (and it's been open even longer).

It's 2016 and who doesn't know Decarie Hot-Dog, a true long-standing Montréal institution. Situated almost right outside the Cote-Vertu metro station, it is almost impossible to miss. Since everyone knows this place, I don't need to go into détails, save for the fact that there have been changes over the years. Aside from the obvious price hikes which plagued every single business in existance, they also moved to having an actual digital cash register since the city's law requires every restorant to give a bill. Still, most of the time the guys behind the counter still calculate by writing the items ordered on a paper bag or directly on the counter. They are considered one of the best low-brow steamy hot dog places in the city, and with the demise of "Montréal Pool Room" a few years ago (re-birthed on the other side of St-Laurent street but it's not the same place at all) probably are still at the top of the food chain. They do a mean club sandwitch, and decent burgers to boot, although for a short while their ground beef seemed to be mixed with way to much Pepper, but that changed not too long ago. Their fries are of those limp, fat, greesy fries - you know the type, and the genre most "poutine" lovers prefer. They are often very generous in the fry department so usually one regular sized potion is enough to please two. I also should mention their poutine which can only be described as "very typical", which is far from a bad thing. In fact, if you are looking for a "real" Montréal poutine, it doesn't get more down to earth than Decarie Hot Dog. Service Wise, that's the problem. Depending on what time of day/evening you go and who is working at that time, you may be served by a very warm and charismatic person, or almost need a translator and math skills for others. I admit that on more than one occasion I poked my head in to see who was working there and that influenced me to either go in or walk away. Also some key times are maddeningly full, and it can take up to 20 minutes just to place an order (yes, TWENTY MINUTES!). But all in all, this is "the" greesy spoon spot of the area, and still stands after all those décades while other businesses on Decarie keep opening and closing.

This place is great if you're trying to get a quick fill. The poutine and the sandwiches comes in great portion size. The hot dog and burger in my opinion are just average. This place does great and provides excellent taste consistency when its super busy, like summer time, or I suppose when students come in. The past few evenings that I have been visiting here seems to be very mundane. The fries tasted like they were thawed longer then usual giving a soggy taste, and you really couldnt miss the burnt oil smell either. The sauce on the other hand is still holding its rep high. I used to come here when I was at Vanier, still do when I really want to eat something on the go, other then usual M.cDo Recap: Visit here when you really really do need a quick fill for an empty stomach :)

Good hotdogs and good poutines! However, the restaurant needs to be more clean. If you like greasy food smell, this is definitely the place to be. Very friendly workers. Overall, the experience is amazing!

If you're hungry, in a hurry and not too picky this is the place to go. It does the job but nothing else. On the plus side: Service: Fast Price: Cheap (but Cash Only, they do have an ATM though) Food: Filling Location: Really cute small old-fashioned dinner. On the low side: Food: I got two steamies. They were good but nothing out of this world. I thought about getting some fries but the oil looked like it had been reused a thousand times. Cleanliness: Not the place to go if you're a germaphobe.

Ok, please someone tell me what is so famous about this place, I got caught up with all the hype about the dogs n fries, in 62 yrs of my life, I have eaten at the Mtl pool room and all the other joints beside it, Lafleur's, La Belle Province, etc...the dog wasn't any better or worst than any other dog, the fries, again, nothing to write home about, I thought I was going to get my socks knocked off, I went there from the east end salivating as to how good it was going to be, sorry, I'm going to go out of my way and return to the mtl pool room, they never disappoint!

Decarie Hot Dog is a Montreal institution. If you have a craving for comfort food... this is the place to go.... AAAAAND it's always open. The esthetic of the place and neighborhood look somewhat shady as well as dirty but it can be worth your time to quickly come here to eat anyways. The place is literally this tiny hole in the wall, easy to miss with very limited seating and it can get pretty busy. I've been here many times in my life without issues to have their "Lafleur" steamies. Hot Dog Decarie prepares them quickly and so dirt cheap you can easily buy more. And why not??? These dogs go down nicely and are delish! My favorite though is their popular poutine. It's a 'notch below excellent' and is unlike many places that do serve poutine, it's consistently as good each visit. Huge portion, the fries are just right, generous with the extra squeaky cheese curds and the gravy goodness is damn solid folks. All for a mere $5. Best deal in the city as far as I know. For a mere 10 bucks you'll leave this place with a full HAPPY stomach. What's not to like?

Dirty Dogs, Done Dirt Cheap. A Ville St. Laurent landmark. Not reinventing the wheel and they have been in business for so long that you can choose to complain about how things look old and blah blah but to those I say, go blow 70 bucks at M:BRGR. One million all dressed hot dogs served, over the course of the last fifty years cannot be wrong and what do you expect? It is a hole in the wall, grease spoon. If you want a poutine made with King Edward Potatoes, with Manchego chesse, chorizo and a black pepper gravy, go to a new trendy poutine place. However, if you want a simple, honest, decent poutine, two all dressed steamies, a black cherry coke and to pay with a ten and get change, you are in the right place. And the guys behind the counter are always a hoot. 5 Stars, as far as grease spoons go. Waka Waka

Simply the best poutine in town, you feel like you are in a movie scene when you eat there. Service is good. Not good with kids as the place is extremely small. Hot dogs and poutine !!! Highly recommended

What can I say that hasn't already been said. A hole in the wall kinda spot that has about 8-10 benches to eat at the counter. They do some of the best fries, hot dog steamies and burgers in town. The staff has been there forever and it shows when you see the friendly manner in how they treat their customers. I'd definitely rank this place in with other Montreal institutions like Schwartz and Orange Julep.

I've been going here for more than 10 years, since when I first started at Vanier. Best poutine in Montreal as far as I'm concerned. Their staff hasn't changed that much over the years either - great that they can keep older hardworking people going with a routine and income. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu really from steamies to club sandwiches to burgers to fish and chips even. If you like your fries crispy, just ask and they shall deliver. Extra gravy or cheese for your poutine will cost you though. They have a good assortment of soft drinks including cream soda - they'll be happy to pop open the non-twist top for you. When you enter to order, and they give you a look, don't be afraid, just shout out your order. Forks are in a big tub near the door - can't be missed. Cash only on their old register (they do the arithmetic in their heads) and not much seating room if you come when it's busy. They open bright and early everyday at 5 or 6am and close every night at 1am. Perfect for that late night fix if you are coming on the metro. Only downside: poutine prices have shot up from $3 to $4.75 over these past 10 years. Tough for a student to swallow.

Apart from the staff member talking some smack about my friend and I in Greek assuming we wouldn't understand (my Greek friend told him what time it was tho - homey was red like the ketchup).... Very solid dogs and fries here

Spot on! You won't regret stepping feet into this fine establishment and be greeted by the magical aroma of Montreal steamies, delicious fish & chips, tasty fries and their legendary poutine... all for the fraction of the price of any other restaurants! A solid reference since my teenage days, this is a "must bookmark" casse-croûte.

So Listen, I'm from Toronto and I went to Montreal for a wedding. We had some time before so I said lets get some Poutine. Is it the cleanest? No. Did my shoes stick on the floor? Yup. Did my tummy thank me? YOU BETCHA! So I took 3 poutines for take out, it was under $20 ($17 I believe) and it fed 5 people, so do I care that my shoes stuck, or it wasn't a fancy restaurant with cushioned chairs? No, it gave me what I wanted and that was a BOMB poutine :)

If your looking for a steamie and great poutine and are not claustrophobic, this place is awesome. The atmosphere is exactly what it is. No pretentiousness at being the best, just a family run fun place for a quick treat. And treat it is. The friendly banter between regulars and staff/owners/family makes you feel right at home if you can find a spot to sit. Dont go with all your friends unless you're doing take away. Sad to hear the cash register has been replaced and no more pop bottles. :(

Small space but honestly the price was good and the atmosphere was a cool local quick food stop with friendly people working there, quick to joke with you in a nice way. Had a "Steamie" for the first time but its basically like any other basic small sized hotdog however with the sourkraut, onions and mustard (I didnt bother putting ketchup on) it was pretty yummy, had I not gotten the poutine I probably would have dominated at least 4+ dogs alone. The poutine, as expected in Montreal, had awesome cheese curd and the way I figure is all poutine places usually have equal curd, what distinguishes poutines is the "sauce" (aka gravy) that each place uses. This one was very yummy... my wife refered to it as "spicy" but really it was this subtle kick of garlicness in it that set it apart from just a basic gravy. Good stuff, if you are near there and need a quick bite i'd for sure pop in. Nothing MIND BLOWING, but good affordable food, and I can accept that.

I promised myself that I wouldn't come back to Yelp just to give someone a 1-star review, for reason being of not wanting to negatively rate a restaurant based on one experience. HOWEVER, Decarie Hot Dog is an exception -- BY FAR. My boyfriend and I wandered into Decarie Hot Dogs after 5+ hours of driving from Boston to Montreal. By the time we arrived to the city, which was around 9pm, most of the shops in Decarie were closing. We Yelped nearby to see a good spot to eat that had decent ratings and was still open. We picked Decarie Hot Dog because he and I LOVE LOVE hot dogs, and plus, the bright fluorescent lighting blared at us to come on in! The little joint was typical of a hole-in-the-wall: tiny, grimey, and had very few seating. We had high hopes of this place because of the average 4-star reviews -- who could mess up on hot dogs? Canada is known for their poutines, so of course, we had to order a plate. He got the poutine combo with 2 hot dogs and soda, while I ordered the fries combo with 2 hot dogs and soda. But before I get into the actual taste of the dogs, I must divulge you of the service we received at Decarie Hot Dog. We were greeted by a short, wirey-haired woman, and a large stocky resting-bitch-faced of a man. The woman I didn't mind because she didn't say much to us, other than the "you're welcome" after I thanked her for the hot dogs. The RBF guy, however, was absolutely RUDE. My boyf ordered the hot dogs through him, and decided to add one additional topping a few seconds later. The RBF guy, to which responded in an annoyed, condescending tone, "ONCE AGAIN, what do you want on your hot dogs?" His booming voice over the ceiling fan scared the shit out of me. We were obviously not from the area and had never dined at this shop before. A little explanation of how to order their hot dogs would have been nice. ANYWAY. Back to the hot dogs: the actual hot dogs were bland, buns were not toasted and cold, and the toppings tasted like they came from Costco-sized cans. There was no pop when you bite into the hot dog, no crunch from the bun, no oozing of juices and flavors. A 7-11 hot dog would have satisfied me more than a Decarie Hot Dog!! But on the real, the service really ruined it for us. "4-star" or not, we are never ever coming back!

Famous fries, a large bag of fries for a decent prices. I usually pour some ketchup on the fries and eat with a fork while heading out. You can also sit down and eat it is a small place with a few stools. Great place.

Love how fast it is there, friendly employees the only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I wanted to pay debit/card but they only accept cash. I would give it 4.5 but we can't.

Went to Decarie Hotdog with coworkers... This place is old school, feel good food diner style! I had 2 steamed eaten at the counter... wow, they were good. Service is amazing, and the owner (I think that's who he was as there's a picture of him on the wall) is a very nice guy that took time to talk with us. Some of my coworkers used to go there when they were going to Vanier... place is a classic, I'll be back for more "roteux"

So many folks love this place and honestly I just can't understand why. It's a greasy spoon with questionable hygiene practices. Cash and food often handled by the same hands. Cutting board looks like it hasn't been cleaned for ever and the frying area always looks like it desperately needs to be cleaned. The steamies and fries are the same you can get at many other burger joints. Which reminds me...don't get a burger there. Last time I got a cheeseburger I had to throw it out. The meat smelled and tasted bad. There is almost no room to sit inside and outside there are 4 picnic tables on a noisy commercial street. Aside from the sweet owner and his staff I don't see why anyone would go out of their way to eat there. Sorry Decarie Hot Dog fans...I just don't get it!

This place is another institution. About the size of a lunch counter, there's room for no more than 10 people at a time, including the four people working the kitchen. The fare is straightforward: steamed hot dogs covered in coleslaw, greasy fries, and poutine. You can also buck the trend and get a burger, and I hear they do fried fish? I don't know about that, if they really do I would avoid. Anyways, one thing you should know is that if you set foot in there, you'll come out smelling like a greastrap. Just sayin'. Your best bet is to find a kid and send him/her in with your order. That way you get your cake and eat it too.

Good Food, Terrible Service. Instead of the 2 hot dogs I ordered I got 2 dogs with COMPLETELY different toppings and they were cold. I feel like they gave them to me to get rid of them. Disgusting & disrespectful. Can't even give a proper hello to anyone who doesn't fit the mold. Too bad the staff are the way they are because their poutine is great
